First look at Stephanie Davis’ outrageous Coronation Street character as she joins for ‘steamy affair’
STEPHANIE Davis has given fans the first look at her new character joined the cobbled streets of Coronation Street.
The ITV soap has snapped up reality star and actress Stephanie Davis, 30, to play man-eater, Courtney Vance, in a steamy storyline.
The controversial former Hollyoaks star will be joining the cast of Coronation Street very soon for a major new role in an affair plot.
Next to a snap of her in costume, she shared a post with her 956,000 Instagram followers.
She wrote: “[I] am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Coronation Street, playing the part of Courtney Vance.
“Growing up I have always watched and loved the show, so to be part of the biggest TV soap in Britain, which is in the hearts and homes of so many people, is an honour. S x”
Best known for playing Sinead O’Connor in the Channel 4 soap as well as an infamous appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, Stephanie will be joined by Archers star Ryan Early who will play her husband Darren.
Darren will be introduced as a business associate of Dev Alahan this summer with Courtney arriving on Coronation Street soon after.
But while Dev and Darren Vance spend time talking business, Courtney sets her sights on a toyboy lover in the shape of Dev’s son Aadi Alahan.
It’s not long before Aadi finds himself caught up in a web of deceit as cunning Courtney orchestrates reasons for the pair to meet up behind Dev and Darren’s backs.
Stephanie and Ryan start filming this week and will appear on screen in July.
